Friday Features 006: Wave Label “Liquid Ritual” – Kareful, Enjoii, Froscity

Recently, I wrote a review on wave producer Enjoii’s new EP, “Life Alone.” Since I enjoyed the EP so much, and wave fans from groups like WAVECITY were responding to my review, I decided to dwell a little deeper into the current wave music scene. That’s right, aside from KNO/WHY, this week’s feature is compiled entirely of wave music.

Most of the tracks featured here are new, although some go back as far as about six months. You might notice that I’ve discovered many of these artists from the popular European wave label Liquid Ritual, where I first came across Enjoii’s EP. Therefore, these artists are dominantly European, hailing from places like Poland, The UK, and The Netherlands. Of course, I did feel the need to throw in a new experimental track by Sematary Kid, for my Seattle locals.

Wave seems to have a lot of variances in its level of rhythm, use of bass, and overall intensity. On the surface, it can appear simple or transparent, but the closer you listen, the more layers of complexity you will discover hiding behind its seemingly straightforward dynamic. In that sense, wave music appeals to the simplest of musical senses, while carrying on a level of intricacy which makes it stand apart from other genres.
